The old adage that it is better to be lucky
than rich does not always apply to contest
for prizes in dog show. AUGUST BELMONT,
the New York millionaire, won oil the big
prizes at the recent dog show in Buffalo, while
the poor men who entered good dogs failed to
get any thing.

A st. Paul millionaire did not have the same
good luck in contest for prizes in the car
nival dog show. ]. ]. HILL is the owner
of an imported Scotch cooiie which was en-
tered in the prize contest during the Ice car
nival The dog is very fine animal with
about the best pedigree Of any dog in the
country. 1t was therefore with no little
chagrin that Mr.. HILL saw his thoroughbred
coolie distanced in the contest by mongrel
without pedigree.
The prize was awarded to a half-bred dog
belonging to a farmer from the country. 1t
was source of consolation to Mr.. HILL to
afterwards ascertain that the successful dog
was descendant of his own coolie. The owner
had once been laborer on Mr.. HILLS farm,
and, unbeknown to that gentleman. had sue
ceeded in raising a kennel of his own from
MIR. HILLS imported dog. The half-breed
pup eclipsed the full bred sire, thus demon
strating that a cross of American blood will
improve even race of dogs.

was delivered under distinguished auspices
and the society ladies all turned out to hear
her, and, if local accounts are to be relied on,
the lady made such an impression on her au-
ditors that there is likely to be dress reform
inaugurated at the national capital during
the coming summer.
